Hey! Unfriendly Mach-E owners....

[ChrisO]

Believe it or not, CAFE is probably the main reason these smaller engines are pumping out the higher numbers. Trying to squeeze out every bit of fuel by making high compression and perfectly timed engines. No sure about what the CAFE penalties are, but may be the reason Ford can sell Mach-e so cheap and offset some of the other big and low MPG vehicles in the line up ( read F series pickups)

Well, the current administration set the CAFE penalties to zero. Because of the way they passed the bill they couldn't get rid of CAFE, but they could change the amount of the penalties.

It will be interesting on how the US car companies react to that since hopefully they play a bit longer game as far as what to do with their cars than one administration.

...the next time I wave in comradery and you don't wave back, I'm going to hunt you down, take your car and leave you with a remote control Cybertruck.

You have been warned!

I don’t realize it’s another MME until it passes. I tend to focus on the road ahead.

I also drive a Wrangler.

My car has supply of these:

I may leave one on a mirror when I see another MME parked where I'm parked...

So….taking to heart the spirit of Mach-E ownership I’ve been waving to other Mach-E drivers on the road. Alas, they’re all (so far) entirely aloof, not even a notice of another Mach-E passing by. Sigh. Seems like, to some, we’ve become just another EV on the road and not the awesome history and aura(?) of Mustang that I get every time I look at my new GT. Have we just become another Tesla out there blending in with the other generic SUV’s on the road? I sure hope not. Not to me anyway.

LOL I saw a non-GT in Grabber Blue Metallic on the road the other day coming in the opposite direction. I double flashed the high beams and waved. Nada for a reaction.

Even with flashing your lights. SMH. And it just happened to me again this am when I waived. Oh well.

I’m guessing that in my case people just don’t like waving back at an enthusiastic black canine. Or maybe they just can’t see my paw.

That’s a hoot!

In the SF bay area, I doubt the people even have a clue at what flashing your headlights means.

In fact, some people around here drive around with their high beams on and don't even seem to know it.

When I take my wife to work (parking is terrible at her mall) which is about 6 miles away, I think I average about 2 Mach-Es per trip. The other day I counted 5. I'm absolutely sure that around here most just view it as another SUV.
